In
Determines whether a variable of type T is contained in the supplied list of arguments of type T, allowing for more concise code.
Source
public static bool In<T>(this T source, params T[] list)
{
if(null==source) throw new ArgumentNullException("source");
return list.Contains(source);
}
Example
Allows me to replace:
if(reallyLongIntegerVariableName == 1 ||
reallyLongIntegerVariableName == 6 ||
reallyLongIntegerVariableName == 9 ||
reallyLongIntegerVariableName == 11)
{
// do something....
}
and
if(reallyLongStringVariableName == "string1" ||
reallyLongStringVariableName == "string2" ||
reallyLongStringVariableName == "string3")
{
// do something....
}
and
if(reallyLongMethodParameterName == SomeEnum.Value1 ||
reallyLongMethodParameterName == SomeEnum.Value2 ||
reallyLongMethodParameterName == SomeEnum.Value3 ||
reallyLongMethodParameterName == SomeEnum.Value4)
{
// do something....
}
With:
if(reallyLongIntegerVariableName.In(1,6,9,11))
{
// do something....
}
and
if(reallyLongStringVariableName.In("string1","string2","string3"))
{
// do something....
}
and
if(reallyLongMethodParameterName.In(SomeEnum.Value1, SomeEnum.Value2, SomeEnum.Value3, SomeEnum.Value4)
{
// do something....
}
